Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City chase CSKA Moscow winger Milos Krasic

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are weighing up a move for CSKA Moscow winger Milos Krasic.

The Premier League trio were represented in the stands at Old Trafford on Tuesday night as the Serbia international impressed with the Russians' second goal in the 3-3 draw.

Krasic, who is 25 and 6ft 1ins, has forged a reputation as an intelligent player with good pace and an eye for goal.

He would not come cheap, valued at around £9million, but scouts are convinced he can adapt to the Premier League whether playing wide or in an attacking midfield role.

Real Madrid and AC Milan made inquiries about him last year but CSKA then scared them off by demanding £18m. Manchester United have also had him watched.

Daily Mail

1. We don't have 9mil.
2. Why is he worth half as much now?
3. Who?

He's a very good player in my books, played brilliantly against the Mancs.

I'd take selling Riera and Babel to try and raise the cash for this deal.

Can't see it happening though.

Watched him against Utd and was very impressed might be exactly the bit of creativity we need out wide.

Very, very good player.

Question is, what team aren't actually interested in signing him ...

He play on the right wing, right? So he will replce Kuyt. I did say he would be a good buy. Then we can use Kuyt as back up striker.

i think too risky judging player by one match.. but if the player a really have a good reputation on his country or on his club then he have a great ability, creativity and adaptation.. why not? i think we need creative winger..

Not seen an awful lot of him - but what I have seen of him he looks a very handy player indeed.

Brilliant dribbler, skillful and quick.

Just think this is pure speculation though at the moment.

He's got a preference for Man United or Chelsea.

What a silly preference to have. His loss.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City target Milos Krasic to hold showdown talks with CSKA Moscow over his future

Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City target Milos Krasic to hold showdown talks with CSKA Moscow over his future

Milos Krasic will hold talks with his bosses at CSKA Moscow next month after Sportsmail revealed Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City were tracking the Serbia international.
The 25-year-old, whose contract expires in December 2011, admits he is keen to test himself in one of Europe's elite leagues and has revealed a love of the Barclays Premier League.
Krasic impressed during CSKA's two recent Champions League matches against Manchester United, which saw the English side win 1-0 in Moscow ahead of a 3-3 draw in England this week.
Scouts from Arsenal, Liverpool and City were in the Old Trafford crowd, but Krasic admits an admiration of the trio's Premier League rivals.
'I like United,' he told Russian newspaper Sport Express. 'They have such a high class defender in Nemanja Vidic.'
Krasic knows Vidic well from Serbia duty and the days when the defender played for Spartak Moscow.
'But I also have great friends at Chelsea: Branislav Ivanovic and Yuri Zhirkov. So, I'm not "sick" for any particular team.
'But, simply, Premier League matches are good to watch. The game is quick, stadiums are full and it's high quality.'
Krasic has also caught the eye of AC Milan and Real Madrid, but suitors would be reluctant to pay more than half of the £18m price-tag that CSKA are looking for.
The attacking midfielder also says that the Spanish and Italian leagues are attactive, but he does not want to be distracted by talks about his future till the end of the Russian season.

CSKA have three more matches to play in the Russian League and face an uphill task to qualify for next season's top European competition.
'I have two more years under contract with CSKA,' said Krasic. 'It is important to finish the season, help the club to break into the Champions League, and then we'll see.'
His agent says he expects a number of top European clubs to be interested in Krasic but insists there is no offer yet on the table. However, he confirmed talks were planned for the end of the Russian season.
Meanwhile, Krasic said Manchester United target Igor Akinfeev was key in CSKA securing a point at Old Trafford and he believes his team-mate is destined for greatness.
'I think today he is the best young goalkeeper in Europe,' said Krasic.

Doubt this will happen but if it does I won't complain

Man City are in for him.....game over! We're broke n they're the polar opposite!!

Nah forget it, there's better out there than him and younger, Whats he worth £18m? is he really worth that much?, I'm not so sure, Can anyone justify that price tag?

Looks a good player but I can't see us getting him, think it's just mere speculation.

Only seen two games from him, from which he has impressed me. He seems to have good control, can beat his man and has a bit of flair to open teams up.

Wouldn't pay 18 mill for him even if we could afford that.

Left mid or Right?

I saw him play on the left against Mancs. But I think he is like Yossi, play on both side.

Another Yossi? Can't be too bad for us, sign him up!

love this player but we dont have the money which is  quite sad becuase he would be a great fit for the club.

very similar to benayoun... we dont need that sort of player..

Think i wouldn't mind another Benayoun, we are a club in need of depth after all!

Of course... but the asking price for this lad is abit too much for our liking and I dont think in the current climate, we wouldn't pay £9mil+ for a player to be on the bench.. We need to be realistic. Surely we won't be making a big money signing until our financial mess is improved and money is available.

Krasic had a good game against scums few weeks ago.
